Question:
HOW MUCH FOOD AT 7 WEEKS?

I'm 7 weeks post op and I'm eating about 2 oz. of food at a time. Although, today I had a salad with my 2oz. of ham and cheese so it was actually more than 2 oz. is that ok?    — Kelly* P. (posted on March 10, 2003)

Hi! I'll be 8 weeks out on Wednesday, and I'm just starting to eat solids. According to my surgeon and nutrition, we should still be eating about 2 ounces of food right now. However, I find that what I eat depends partly on the volume of the food when I chew it to bits. Salad chews down to just about nothing, so it adds very little to your ham and cheese. It sounds to like your meal was completely on target. Beth
